Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-6 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 0.5x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
0.5x + x2 = 6

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 6 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 6 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.0625 = 6.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 6.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 6.0625
